After working on their office and previous home, Wise Design was approached to help with our client's forever family home located in the historic neighborhood of Irvington. The scope included a basement renovation, full house furnishing selections and, after an unfortunate small fire, a full kitchen renovation as well. 

 

The home has a lovely connection between the interior and exterior thanks to custom landscaping, designed by our client's father. A graceful, elegant home with considered elements that our clients wanted to feel 'grown up' but not too precious as they have a young child. The new basement has a playroom with climbing equipment, an art center and a lego/trail building table as well as a large comfy sofa for family movie nights. The living room with its new furnishings and lighting is a place of peace, designed for evenings reading by the fire. 

​

The new kitchen features custom inset cabinetry with a furniture leg base, painted in Shaded White by Farrow and Ball. The feature wall of high variation tile throughout the day, making this space feel dynamic and alive. English-style hutch cabinetry, brass hardware and faucet plus custom wood shelves add warmth. 

​

The home strikes the perfect balance between elegance and approachability. In each space, the design is fun, fresh and gracious- much like our clients themselves!
